The theme for Week 5 was "I left my heart in…" If I had my druthers, I would have gone back to Hawaii to take some digital photos, but it was not in the cards. For you see, Hawaii IS where I left my heart, but all of my photos are on film. I found an excellent back up, though – Warren Dunes, Lake Michigan.
Dwight and I managed to go back in October last year. Yep, this is October!
It was an incredible day; probably the perfect day. It was really warm without being crazy-hot, sunny all day, and the beach was gloriously free of the hoards of humanity that frequent it during the actual beach season.
We got an early start and made a stop at Meijer to pick up an a umbrella or some other contraption to keep me out of the sun. Remember this post? Yeah, I'm totally serious about being protected in the sun. Seeing as we were going to be baking on the beach for hours and not just out and about, I wanted physical cover instead of just sunscreen. I don't like being baking in the sun, even covered in sunscreen; I get way too hot and start feeling icky.
We found this tent and It. Was. Perfect. I abso-freakin-lutely love it. It's my new BFF. I was happy as a clam in there. It was GLORIOUS.
My view from the tent. Heaven.
I did leave a little bit of my heart on this beach that beautiful day in October. It was one of my very best days of 2011.
I just want to tell you that this makes me smile :)
ReplyDeletePerfect timing! We are supposed to get flurries tomorrow and I do not like the cold, so pictures of blue waters and white sands cheered me right up! I like that tent too! I could curl up in there and read all day long.
